And replaced with what?


A system of public healthcare and a private one where users of it are
not penalised for doing so. As it is, huge sums are wasted on admin
in the public sector and people wishing to buy their own healthcare,
thus unburdening the state system are penalised for doing so, several
times over.

As you say, nobody looks at the big picture



We could farm everything out to India, and then the cost would be even more
to the country in social payments, crime, broken homes etc. No one ever
looks at the big picture.


The right thing to do would be to spend some of the money saved in
retraining and reskilling those affected by such outsourcing. There
is nothing new in the notion of jobs in certain sectors moving to
lower cost production areas. Ultimately, attempting to control that
by artificial means and props doesn't work. It would be far better to
accept that that is the way that the market is going and dealing with
it positively.



I'd say, a couple of hundred grand
should be enough for anybody.

Why? This is a matter between employer, employee and shareholders.
It isn't anybody else's business.


Golden parachutes should be outlawed. They are just despicable.


They are nobody's business apart from the parties involved.
